There is a deviation in subhead F2. Until now the subhead had been kept open in the light of the recent expert group's report and the report that had been referred to the State Claims Agency. However, the explanation for subhead F2 refers to the expert group report of 1977. That is a deviation from the Votes presented to us previously. Is it the Department's intention to revisit the one-off ex gratia payment made in the 1980s to the 15 children? Is this the reason for the change in the documentation presented to us today?
